rage1187 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 looking to gain some cover. What would be some good cover and concealment trees? we have one weeping willow tree. Thought about maybe planting a few more? After 5 years it now has id say about a good 30 foot drape/cover. What would be some other affordable trees that could provide some good cover? our house is located near a some what heavy/to moderately travelled road. Just trying to hide the view of others.

Browning Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I wouldn't put a willow any where near the house. Look into their root systems. They're nuts. I know nothing about the following site but it might give you some good examples, how they grow, etc to help narrow your choices. You're zone 6 if you didn't know. Use to be 5 but they're changed all of that recently http://www.fast-growing-trees.com/PrivacyTrees.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay1647545503 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 We had some weeping cherry trees, I really liked them but the driveway expansion forced them out. They never grew large maybe 15'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, knowing your property as I do, you would do well with a shrubbery wall on the corners- then a few pretty trees on the inside of the corner.
